We propose a new model within the ``Quark-nova'' scenario to interpret therecent observations of early afterglows of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) with theSwift satellite. This is a three-stage model within the context of acore-collapse supernova. Stage 1 is an accreting (proto-) neutron star leadingto a possible delay between the core collapse and the GRB. Stage 2 is anaccreting quark-star, generating the prompt GRB. Stage 3, which occurs only ifthe quark-star collapses to form a black-hole, consists of an accretingblack-hole. The jet launched in this accretion process interacts with theejecta from stage 2, and could generate the flaring activity frequently seen inX-ray afterglows. This model may be able to account for both the energies andthe timescales of GRBs, in addition to the newly discovered early X-rayafterglow features.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ. Revised following the referees  suggestion
